Feature Documentary 95 Min Sudan · 2022 Arabic / English

Heroic Bodies

Sudanese women have long been denied control over their own bodies — enduring severe oppression from facial scarification and genital mutilation to brutal wedding customs and the denial of basic civil rights. Heroic Bodies traces how they fought back: through political protests, civil disobedience, hunger strikes, and the embrace of matriarchal traditions.
